From the Director
Partnerships with the community benefit everyone!
A Friend of the CRRL is a friend to our whole community. Your generous gifts of time, talent, and dollars to your library have positive impact far beyond our walls. CRRL's mission in the broadest sense is to provide resources that enhance the quality of life for people in our area. The library makes available reading, programming, easy access to information, and gathering places where groups meet and people can learn, discuss, and participate in exchange of ideas. We provide space and opportunity, and we initiate community partnerships that foster understanding and embrace diversity. Library Friends are true hometown heroes.
On behalf of the thousands of people in our service area, thank you!
